Event: Labour Inspection in the Age of Digitalization

19-21 November 2019, Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre, Stockholm, Sweden

Due to digitalization, many jobs are becoming increasingly complex and abstract. Workers are expected to handle large quantities of information, learn new things, adapt to changes and use digital tools. Another aspect of digitalization is the disappearing boundaries of time and space, as work can be performed anytime and anywhere – work without boundaries. This course looks into cognitive and other aspects of the digitalization of work with specific focus on the roles of labour inspection services and employers in contributing to sound work environments.

Course objectives

Contribute to the enhancement of labour inspection services by increasing the knowledge in:

• challenges to working conditions and the work environment due to digitalisation
• challenges to legislation regulating working conditions and the work environment
• how challenges to work and legislation affects labour inspection services
• how digital technique affects practices and methods of labour inspection services

Main topics

• Digitalization causes changes in how work in different sectors is carried out. How are risks to occupational safety and health (OSH) changing as an effect of new and changing work practices? What are the consequences for legislation and inspection services?
• How is digitalization affecting the practice of labour inspection services?
• Digitalization has led to more occupational flexibility of time and space: “work without boundaries”. This is especially the case for office workers. What are positive and negative effects of this development on occupational health and safety? What are the consequences for legislation and inspection services?
• Cognition has become a key OSH factor in today’s working life full of digital tools and large amounts of information. A discussion about “brain friendly” work environments must include questions about age and impairments as well as risk factors such as noise, work organisation, leadership and type of office. What are the consequences for legislation and inspection services?
• Digital tools have led to new ways of monitoring employees, raising questions about personal integrity and stress. What are the consequences for legislation and inspection services?

Target group

• Primary target group: persons involved in the inspection of the work environment, such as inspectors, civil servants and decision makers.
• Secondary target group: other people interested in the area such as experts, researchers and journalists.

UK NEBOSH HSE: Introduction to Incident Investigation – 1 Day Qualification

The UK Health and Safety Executive 1-day qualification sets out not only the ‘why’ but also the ‘how’ of incident investigation.

If investigations fail to identify all of the causes of incidents, or they focus only on the individual involved, opportunities to improve work methods and improve risk controls may be lost.

The NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation equips learners to run investigations unaided, create and deploy action plans to help prevent recurrence or a more serious incident.

This stand-alone qualification is aimed at anyone who conducts investigations, such as supervisors and line managers. No specific previous training or qualification is needed.

Potential benefits include safer working methods, more effective controls and fewer incidents.

UK TUC renews warning on unsafe work temperatures

Record-breaking temperatures can make work unpleasant and downright dangerous unless employers act to protect their staff, the TUC has warned.

To cope with the stifling heat, the union body has renewed its call on employers to allow flexible working and to keep workplaces cool so staff can work as comfortably – and safely – as possible. The TUC said giving staff the chance to come in earlier or stay later will let them avoid the sweltering and unpleasant conditions of the rush hour commute. Bosses could also let staff work from home where possible. Workplaces can be kept cooler by taking simple steps such as having windows that can be opened, using fans, moving staff away from windows or sources of heat, or installing ventilation or air-cooling, the TUC added. Temporarily relaxing their workplace dress codes can also help save workers from getting overheated. And frequent breaks and a ready supply of cold drinks are sensible and necessary safety precautions.

The TUC indicated both indoor and outdoor workers need protection. Measures to protect outdoor workers can include scheduling work to avoid the hottest parts of the day, providing shelter and canopies to shade workers from the sun, providing sunscreen and suitable clothing and hats to protect the skin, and providing breaks and a ready supply of cold drinks.

UK Supreme Court victory in landmark disclosure battle

The UK Supreme Court has ruled an asbestos disease victims’ advocacy group can access court documents used in a legal case against the asbestos manufacturer Cape Intermediate Holdings Limited.

The landmark judgment in favour of the Asbestos Victims Support Groups Forum UK will have ‘wide-ranging implications for the future disclosure of documents used in court proceedings’ and will impact on the access to documents given to people and organisations who are not part of court proceedings, the group’s lawyers have said.

The Forum’s Graham Dring applied in 2017 to access documents from a legal case against asbestos manufacturer Cape Intermediate Holdings Limited, which were due to be destroyed, as he believed that the documents would contain valuable information about the dangers of asbestos, reveal the research that had been carried out within the asbestos industry, and the influence which the asbestos industry had in setting health and safety standards in the UK, standards which still apply today.

In July 2018 the Court of Appeal ordered that Mr Dring should be given copies of “key” documents from the previous court proceedings against Cape. The Supreme Court has now held not only that the Court of Appeal had the jurisdiction to make this order, but also that it had the jurisdiction to make a “wider” order if it was right to do so. The case will now return to the Royal Courts of Justice where the trial judge will consider whether to order wider disclosure than the Court of Appeal, which could mean all the court documents related to the case.

London mayor launches Good Work Standard

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has launched a Good Work Standard, which is says is a new benchmark for high employment standards.

The initiative, which includes a Healthy workplaces Award, has already attracted sign-ons from public, private and third-sector employers and union bodies including the TUC and UNISON.

The new standard has criteria covering fair pay and conditions, wellbeing, skills and progression, and diversity and recruitment. It has been developed in collaboration with London’s employers, trade unions and professional bodies. To sit alongside the Good Work Standard, the Mayor said he will soon launch an Employment Rights Hub, which will help Londoners understand their rights at work and what action is available to them when those rights are infringed.

London Fire Commissioner says “Improving building safety must be a top priority for new Government”

People are at risk from slow action to improve building safety, with developers and those responsible not doing enough. The fire service is wrongly being seen as the safety net for the shortfalls in building safety warns London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton.

After sharing concerns with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and the Home Office, the Commissioner is warning that there is a “very real risk” of another incident like Grenfell happening where there could be a similarly large loss of life. The call to prioritise urgent action and for the Government to work with London Fire Brigade comes as new Ministers take up office.

London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said: “Now more than two years after the Grenfell Tower fire, thousands of people are still living in buildings fitted with flammable cladding. Excuses and a lack of urgency demonstrated by those responsible for these buildings are placing people across the country at risk.

“I’m keen to work with Ministers to finally end this lack of action by developers and people responsible for maintaining buildings.”

The Commissioner explains that measures such as waking watches, which were put in place in buildings identified with flammable cladding, are necessary but an imperfect short term solution. She is concerned they are being seen and used as a long-term alternative to remediation work.

Two million workers robbed of legal holiday entitlement

A new TUC analysis has revealed that 1 in 14 UK workers are not getting their legal holiday entitlement.

The union body estimates that nearly two million employees (1.960 million) are not getting the minimum paid leave entitlement they are due. And over a million (1.145 million) are not getting any paid leave at all. Women workers (8.3 per cent) are worse affected than men (5.9 per cent). The number of people taking unpaid holiday claims to tribunals has more than doubled since tribunal fees were abolished in 2017, following a legal victory by UNISON. The majority of holiday pay ruling are in the claimant’s favour.

The TUC says the main reasons people are missing out are unrealistic workloads that do not allow time to take leave, employers deliberately denying holiday requests and managing out people’s leave or employers not keeping up to date with the law.

Safety warning on anniversary of largest grass fire in London’s history

One act of foolishness can have devastating consequences – that’s the serious reminder from firefighters on the first anniversary of London’s biggest ever grass fire.

More than 200 firefighters spent four days tackling the huge blaze which broke out on 15 July 2019 and swept across Wanstead Flats.

With the school holidays on their way and sporadic heatwaves predicted throughout the summer, London Fire Brigade is urging people to take care when they are out enjoying the sunshine this year.

Firefighters have already attended more than 1,200 grass fires across the capital this year.

Tougher action needed for attacks on emergency workers

There must be more prosecutions, tougher sentencing and a culture change to address the widespread attacks on emergency workers, the union GMB has said.

The union call came as new figures obtained by the BBC showed between November 2018, when a new law came into effect, and May this year police across England and Wales made more than 6,600 arrests for attacks on emergency service workers.

The union says its Protect the Protectors campaign helped ensure the passage of the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018, which came into effect on 13 November 2018. The legal change made assaulting an emergency service worker a specific criminal offence in England. Attacking an emergency worker is also now an ‘aggravating factor’ for sentencing purposes. But the union said the law must result in more prosecutions and tougher sentences, “accompanied by culture change and support from government and employers.”

Four new substances added to the ECHA Candidate List

The Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHCs) for authorisation now contains 201 substances.

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA has added four new substances to the Candidate List due to their toxicity to reproduction, endocrine disruption and a combination of other properties of concern. The latter causes probable serious effects to human health and the environment, giving rise to an equivalent level of concern to carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic (CMR), persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) and very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) substances, respectively.

The decision to include two of the substances, number 2 and 3 in the table below, was taken with the involvement of the Member State Committee (MSC).

One further substance, the last in the table below, has been added to the list having been identified as an SVHC by the European Commission due to its endocrine-disrupting properties. The MSC referred this SVHC proposal to the Commission in 2016.
